Godin ACS Steve Stevens 25th Anniversary Nylon Acoustic-Electric - Edition Limitée Purple, Pre-Production Prototype | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

This instrument is an authentic factory sample/prototype for the Godin ACS Nylon Steve Stevens Signature 25th Anniversary Edition, designed in collaboration with legendary guitarist Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) to celebrate 25-plus years of his partnership with Godin Guitars. The production run of this model is limited to 100 numbered pieces worldwide, featuring a vibrant high-gloss purple flame maple top; this particular guitar's lighter, more magenta/pink-toned hue indicates it was a factory color sample, pre-production prototype, or "Edition Limitée" test build used by Godin before settling on the darker production purple. This guitar is built for serious collectors and Godin or Steve Stevens enthusiasts seeking a genuinely rare, one-of-a-kind factory prototype.

Product Overview

Built on Godin's Multiac ACS acoustic/electric nylon-string platform, this guitar pairs a figured flame maple top with a Silver Leaf maple body featuring Canadian Laurentian basswood wings in a chambered design engineered to eliminate feedback. A mahogany neck meets a Richlite fingerboard at a 25.5" scale length and 16" radius, with a 1.9" Graphtech nut providing a comfortable, classical-inspired playing feel. An on-board custom preamp system with individual piezo saddles delivers natural, articulate acoustic tone when plugged in, while a 13-pin synth output allows for direct integration with Roland GR series guitar synthesizers and converters. A slotted headstock featuring custom purple tuning buttons and Steve Stevens' signature raygun logo graphics completes a guitar built to stand out both visually and functionally.
